The Top Ten Memorable Murder Scenes in Horror/Slasher Movies

Halloween is fast approaching and let's get into the carnage, I mean... mood. My ten most memorable murder scenes in Horror/Slasher movie history.

10) "Theatre of Blood" - Spooky movie icon, Vincent Price stars in this 1973 movie as fanatical Shakesperian actor Edward Lionheart. He methodically seeks revenge on a group of theater critics who humiliated him and caused him to go insane. Lionheart kills his enemies similar to the various unfortunate demises of Shakesperean characters. The most memorable of these critics deaths is when Lionheart lures one his enemies to a fake wine tasting party. When the critic realizes that he has been duped he stutters in absolute horroras he is surrounded by Lionheart's minions. He is then dunked and drowned in a barrel of wine.

9) "Phantasm" - The low budget 1979 movie was a combination horror/science fiction movie that featured hooded midgets monsters and a large gruff looking Undertaker (called the Tall Man) that just can not die. The most memorable character of this movie seems to a little metal sphere that glides through the air and chases intruders in a funeral home. In one scene, the hero of the movie escapes this sphere as it accidentally attaches one of the villians in the forehead with its blades. The sphere then takes out a drill and unleashes gallons of blood from its unfortunate victim. Watching this scene definately gave me a headache, but it was nothing compared to the migraine I had while watching Phantasm Four.
